The hostel was an amazing home away from home. The staff are incredibly kind, helped me plan adventures and even made me local cuisine. Accommodations are as described and the work is fun! ¡Gracias por todo y espero volver!

The hostel is clean, calm and pretty quiet. The work is very relaxed and having four days off in the week was great to discover the city and have excursions around the hostel. The work was quite boring but if you have online work or books to read, it's not too bad - just have to keep yourself busy as you're working alone. It isn't the most sociable hostel. There is a mix of very short stays and people who stay more long term. I liked that there were other volunteers as well but thought it was a shame that there were no social events/activities.

Great facilities with chilled out vibe - it has been like staying in someone's really nice house! The owners are very friendly and the hours are reasonable allowing you to spend a lot of time exploring the hostel. I had a really lovely time during my stay and would recommend to anyone not looking for a party atmosphere. Thanks Andres, Catherin and John!! Shout out to my boy Orlando.

My time at the hostel was enjoyable overall; it's great for first-time volunteers! The owners are generally patient, the hostel is clean and cozy, and the location is safe and beautiful. However, initial interactions with staff member Orlando during my first days at the hostel left me feeling uncomfortable as a woman, but he changed his behavior once I set boundaries. Sadly, at the end of my stay, I felt undervalued due to communication issues with the owner. Suggested improvement in communication & professionalism aligned with WorldPackers values can resolve similar issues in the future.

Hermosa experiencia en el hostel, muy buen grupo de trabajo, lindo ambiente y los anfitriones muy amables, las tareas de recepción son sencillas y los horarios están bien, incluso con cierta flexibilidad y posibilidad de cambiar con otros voluntarios. Me llevo un gran recuerdo, se lo recomiendo a quien quiera ir y espero algún día volver!
